[UPDATE: We have a name and a label. We decided to make things simple and call this Estate White. And then we tried to get the label approved by the TTB. After three tries we were finally successful. I don't even understand exactly what was wrong with the original submissions, so I can't explain them to you even if I want to.]
We've been providing updates on this wine for far too long. We have good news- we have a bottling date. We will bottle the wine during the weekend of April 3-5. It's been on the lees for 15+ months and as a result has a wonderful texture and body. This is the first vintage that we blended the Pinot Blanc with the Pinot Gris from the same block. We had historically sold the Pinot Gris to some home winemakers in Washington, but we decided in 2008 to add it to the Blanc. The wine is currently being held in the tank shown in the picture above. We expect to have about 125 cases.
Hello John: Your wine sounds pretty interesting. I've been talking with Shari Lobenstein from Carlton and she recommends your wine. Thanks!
